At some angles, when we tilt our head or make turns in flight, the city lights are being hidden at some angles. The most curious and most annoying thing is that this happens in only one eye, causing a very strange discomfort.
Since the problem only occurs in the left eye, I made the recording using that side to show the problem. The same thing has never happened in any other simulator I use (P3D, FS2020, X-Plane11/12)
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Already tested with no mods, (community renamed) It also happens with default airplanes
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
every time on sim especially when flying into thin clouds.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
The video shows how it happens.

[PC Only] Are you using Developer Mode or have you made any changes to it?
No developer mode enable.

Yes I noticed this last night in vr, there was a strange cloud base while in live weather, if I tilted my head left 45 degrees it disappeared, back to horizontal returned, tilt right still there
I have the same issue, not just with lights, but also with the âdensityâ of clouds, with a cloud being denser and less translucent in one eye vs the other.
I have the same problem with Quest as well. This was observed in MSFS 2020 with a different way. Aircraft lights in the distance were not visible until you tilt your head some degrees. I think this is kind of similar.
Description of the issue:
When flying in VR at night, clouds cover the ground lights differently per each eye. This results in a weird effect, where e.g. the left eye can see the road lights through the cloud, while the right eye only sees the cloud.
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Yes, the issue persists
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every time
REPRODUCTION STEPS

Select nighttime and weather with slight cloud coverage
Start VR Flight (e.g. F18; Los Angeles)

Iâve not tested myself, but looking at the video it would appear that the sim is calculating whether the lights should be âshownâ based on the position of only the left eye, so when that is below the line of the bottom of the windshield the lights get âturned offâ. But of course the right eye is much higher because the head is on its side and can (should be able to!) therefore see the lights!
You can see similar effects with reflections in the water, so maybe lights and reflections are done with a shader pass which is â2D onlyâ?
Same here!! Very discomforting. Also having trouble hitting switches with the mouse. Especsially in the PC-12. Closing right eye helps⌠But no thanks
We have created an internal ticket to see if our team already has this logged, and if not they will attempt to reproduce the issue and create a new bug report. This item is now marked as feedback-logged. If there is an existing bug report or one is created, we will move this thread to bug-logged
Same here (Varjo Aero, Win 10, 64GB RAM, 9800X3D and RTX 4090)
Itâs absolutely horrific to fly in VR at night with this bug, you almost get headaches by it because your mind doesnât know on what to focus. Altough the video shows it nicely, I made another screenshot where you can clearly see the difference between left and right eye where on one eye the cloud layer is covering the city lights and on the other one it isnât:
Itâs even worse if one of them laser-show like airports with the bright blue taxi are shining through on one eye and are covered by clouds on the other.
Please make this a priority, as thereâs other bugreports that most likely have the same core issue, e.g. :
So it is apparent also in MSFS 2020 and reported in last May, then feedback logged. No fix until now. We have the same problem in 2024 now and feedback is logged. Will this be ignored as well or not?..
So how do we get this bug on this list? I like to fly at nights in vr but itâs nauseating with this bug, Iâm surprised thereâs no priority over this at all
